It doesn't take a year to sing a song. Takes a year for people to figure out how to market it.
I think when you write every song on your album - it's like having eleven or twelve children. It's hard to say I like this one song more or I like that one more. I love every song on the album. What's happening is that I'm hoping that everyone will be very satisfied. I think the single "Good Girl" will be adored by the people in the urban world and I think the "Best of Me" will be loved by people in the pop world.
At the end of the day, I think that music lovers are going to love me. I think the pop songs that are on my album will be loved by the pop listeners and the R&B songs will be loved by the R&B people. I think that each song has a broad enough sound that I won't be pigeon holed. At the same time I think it is appealing to many different audiences.
If you want to put out a song that you wrote yesterday tomorrow, go on Twitter, type in a new URL, and give it to the people!
People are mean and hateful, angry - haters everywhere, stupid blogs.
Art is love and it covers. It sheilds.
My hair and I had a really bad argument. She was being sprayed with alcohol and burnt with irons. She was being over processed and yanked and pulled by weave strings and suffocated by glue. She told me if I didn't straighten up and fly right that she was leaving.
My ears sort of turn off when someone tells me that what my heart is saying isn't a good idea.
A female piano player is always pretty cool to me.
I have epiphanies all the time, because I'm always thinking. I'm a thinker. I'm always writing poetry, I'm always coming to conclusions.
I like trendy clothes just like everybody else does.
I used to be so afraid to say what I really think.
I'm going to go out on tour when I feel like going on tour.
Meeting all the wonderful, new people and people appreciating my new music has been a really fun and blessed ride.
